Those 'marriages' are not recognized in the United States. There are no legal advantages to them. If you get insistent, the DA may toss you in the clinck overnight until you've "slept it off".

My opinion Rita?

Yes a three person relationship can legally do everything that a two person marriage can do if set up properly.

It would be considered a contract and would be drawn up by your lawyer, not a marriage. But you can call it anything you want in public, there is no law against that.

The only current disadvantages are work related benefits and government related specifics. (Even two person gay or lesbian marriages have the same problems, currently in about 99% of the United States and probably similar worldwide.)

One can change their name legally via the law, among other things.

33% of people said Bigamy but that is the act of entering into a marriage with one person while still legally married to another.

The idea of Trinogamy is not to get or be married in a church, court house or Las Vegas, but instead to bind yourselves legally with the help of contract law and a lawyer or two.
